Fromm Puppy Gold Food Review

The Fromm Puppy Gold food review was requested by Connie from Florida, U.S.A. She wanted to know if this is a good food for her puppy. We decided to investigate.

Before we look at the food, let's take a quick peek at the
company that makes this food. This company has been in existence for
over a century and is
located in Wisconsin, USA.

They have two
manufacturing plants in Wisconsin where all of their food products are
produced. All ingredients are sourced
from within the United States. The
company is family owned and is now run by the fifth generation.

Having complete control of the entire manufacturing process
is a big plus for a business. They are able to assure quality and safety
much easier if everything is under one roof and the company has complete control of all operations.

A dog food is more than the sum of its ingredients. Pet parents want to be sure that the food they serve their dogs is both safe and healthy. Many manufactures in the pet food industry do not even own the plant where their food is made.

Examining the Guaranteed Analysis

Part of doing the Fromm Puppy Gold Food Review involves checking out the Guaranteed Analysis. Often people want to know how much protein, fat, and carbohydrates are included in their
favorite brand. Looking at the
Guaranteed Analysis is only the first step.

To make the observation a little more accurate, we must convert the
percentages in the guaranteed analysis to
a Dry Matter Basis. It is not exact
because dog food manufacturers are only required to report minimum amounts of
fats and protein and do not need to report carbohydrate quantities at all.

In the case of Fromm Puppy Gold Dry food, the company
provides all of these figures on their website.

Protein

It is to be expected that puppy food would contain
additional protein. This is important
for building strong muscles and bones.

Lactating mothers also benefit from a puppy food diet because their
body’s stores of essential nutrients are depleted after several weeks of nursing a litter.

Calcium Phosphorus Ratio

Another important consideration when evaluating a dog food
for puppies is the Calcium to Phosphorus Ratio.
According to Drs. Foster and Smith, it is important that the proper
ratio be fed. Sometimes this involves
adding additional minerals to balance the ratio. A 1.2 part calcium to 1 part phosphorus is an
ideal ratio.

This food contains 1.47% Calcium to 1.14% Phosphorus on a
dry matter basis. This is a good amount
and does not need to be as high when feeding
an adult.

Ingredients are listed by weight with the first ingredient weighing the
most. Here are the first seven
ingredients which are normally the most important ones.

Duck is the first ingredient. There is much water weight in whole fresh
protein sources so once the moisture is removed, the actual amount of protein
is considerably less

Chicken Meal is the second ingredient. The meal
is what is left after moisture has been eliminated. This would be a
dense protein component. It is considered a quality ingredient because
it names a known source and is included in meal form. Steer clear of
any foods that list animal
meal as a protein source. Animal meals
can include just about anything from any type of animal. I’ll leave
that up to your imagination.

Chicken is the third ingredient. Like the whole duck, whole children is
moisture heavy so once the moisture is removed, there is less chicken protein
in the food.

Oatmeal is the four ingredient. Considered to be a high-quality
carbohydrate, many premium pet food manufacturers will include oatmeal
instead of
other grains such as corn. Oatmeal is an
excellent source of protein and soluble fiber.

Pearled Barley: This ingredient is another good source of protein and also a slow burning carbohydrate source
that helps keep blood sugar levels under control. It is one of those ingredients that provides
the dog with a “full” feeling for longer periods of time.

Menhaden Fish Meal:
Here is another good source of amino acids and is highly digestible. Fish contains omega fatty acids which help
keep skin and coat healthy.
